    I'm probably missing a few but I think that's most of them

    God why am I so obsessed with this company

    I have a slight obsession with C.A.V.E., if it helps.
  • Converting TES's main theme into bums and bahs was a bit harder than it looked.
  • I missed these

    Quebec

    São Paulo
    Ukraine

    almost all of which I have either never heard of or don't remember

    Still, 13 out of 19 Ubi studios (not counting San Fran since it's their corporate headquarters) is pretty good
  • i like morrowinds music

    rayman origins was fucking rad as hell
  • So, managed to screw up my sleep clock.

    Yaaaaaaaaaaay

    If you keep messing up our children, then social services might have a word with you.

    I am too jaded to speak though.
  • rayman origins was fucking rad as hell

    I knooooooooooow!

    The rest of the series is also pretty baller too.
  • Tre

    explain to me why you enjoy Rayman

    YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES GO GO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  • Morrowind frustrates me. I wish I could get into it like I did when I first played it.

    It baffles me to no end how anyone could consider that the pinnacle of the series.
  • @tre: the coop is spectacular

    @kex: well

    y'see

    for me it's nostalgia + nice, imaginative setting + ballin' lore

    Daggerfall
  • Although, I will say, the opening- despite not being "exciting" like Oblivion or Skyrim- is still my favorite.

    And the information kiosk NPCs surprisingly served to make the game more immersive for me. The "my trade" dialogue option made the world feel surprisingly real in a way very little of the rest of the game did.

    I'm usually a sucker for nostalgia, which us why it surprises me so much that I don't enjoy Morrowind like I used to.

    The setting was great, it's just too bad the game was so brown. It honestly kind of bugs me that they chose to use the most strange and alien world be the setting on the Xbox, by they chose what may very well be the two most mundane settings in the game's world for the next generation. A good aesthetic is very important for an open world game.

    We have children?

    We were married?
  • having a pretty good Judas run in Isaac for once.

    Judas is probably my favorite of the techy characters, he's not near impossible to use like Eve and he's not boring like Samson.

    Yes and Technically No.

    How is Timer clock, did you teach him how to play the piano like he often said was his dream.
  • He's doing well. We've been working on Bach as of late. He's taking to fugues like a fish to water.

    So, are these kids adopted or what?
  • @kex: It really is a shame, because in the lore, cyrodill or however its spelt

    was like

    a jungly jungle place

    and imperial culture was like. ancient rome mixed with ancient china, or something like that

    I will say Bioshock: Infinite and that should answer every question you have. :)
  • I am the glassest of cannons right now

    sad onion, thin mushroom, lump of coal, and meat plus Book of Belial on my spacebar. But I only have three heart containers, two of which are empty.
  • Munch munch, chomp chomp...
    Sounds like a fun ride Mo'.

    You know, I always saw that on TvT, but this tome I was curious so I watched some gameplay of Arena, and Cyrodiil is the same as it was in Oblivion. Weird.

  • The sadness will last forever.
    super
  • @kex: aw, what

    though tbh basicslly alll the archetecture un arena was the same

    because old game

    Okay, sorry I'm late but here goes!

    I like platformers and French things and stupid humor and pretty art and sexy fairies and main characters without limbs and Billy West's voice acting and John Leguizamo and punching things and occasional random gameplay changes and maybe torturing myself for the great feeling of reward upon triumphing past beyond Nintendo Hard levels of doom and there's only one series of platformers that has all of those.

    So yeah. It's definitely not for everyone but it's perfect for me. :D

    I kind of laugh at that though because it is standard shooter difficulty.

    Oh and also, while I'm kind of breaking the time limit, I just have to say the music kicks all kinds of ass



    And I've always liked platformers but I always thought the two big dogs weren't entirely my style (Mario's good, but I felt like it just wasn't my specific Thing; Sonic either makes my eyes or my brain hurt, or both, depending on the title). Ray, on the other hand, was a perfect match: not too fast, but not a snoozefest by any means.
  • Tvtropes describes puppies as thusly

    Small = Hard
    Wolves = Nintendo Hard
    Pitbulls = Doom Atari 6400.
    Chihuahua = Fighter class pilot.

    Maybe standard bullet hell difficulty, I'd say average shmuo difficulty is something like Life Force.

    torturing yourself, you say

    I feel like I should get this and it makes me sad that I don't.

    Nice fez though, Monsieur Fish. :P

    standard danmaku difficulty, non danmaku shmups, rare as they are outside of the IOS market in the present day, would be easier.

    also, what is simple to you may be hard to others.

    I always liked Sonic's high speed a lot, but my favorite platformer is Mega Man because it is really my style: tight control, intense action, lots of traps, tough bosses, fun weapons, awesome music, and cool futuristic settings. :)

    get it as soon as you are able, and then save up money for Rebirth when it comes out like I am.

    Judas is a good character if you can overcome that one heart handicap early on. He's described as the "mage" character and he fits the bill.
  • image

    still not big on Rebirth's retro art style, on that note, but oh well.

    Speaking of, I hope Polytron's working on Fez for Vita

    It'd be nice, I'm thinking about asking for a Vita for my birthday and since my brother would hate me forever if I got Rayman Legends on there I want something else to

    a) provide me my platformer fix and
    b) get me through this semi charmed kinda life

    So yeah.
  • Although, Thomas Was Alone's extended cut is also on there so I could try to get that.

    Or Guacamelee. Shit, hopefully all three and Rayman Origins too, but that'd probably be impossible because money.
  • More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
    I've seen it be said that danmaku is roughly as difficult as an old "traditional" shooter like Raiden or R-Type but the difference is in the play style: one can be good at one and not so good at the other. For a few things, danmaku games offer immediate respawns, are not *quite* as punishing to your weapons when you die, and give you a small hitbox so you can squeeze between bullets.
  • I suppose this is true, but one should probably keep in mind that most genres of game look difficult to outsiders.

    Roguelikes are not hard, but many people think they are.
